Banner of the Evil God

Of course, these two gifts could not really be sent by Satan, but Lei prepared them out of his own pocket.

Satan had been struggling in the world for ten years, but he did not earn much. He followed the adventurer's motto "Only money spent on oneself is useful money", and used most of his income to improve his strength, so he could have that ability.

Even though he was still a long way from "poverty", it was impossible for him to come up with a decent gift.

Of course, he had never thought about these things. In his opinion, the most important thing between friends is mutual respect and mutual help. Gifts and money... Although Knight Parn is not a rich man, he is definitely not poor, so he doesn't need these things!

In his impression, Knight Parn was most concerned about his noble status, so when Sui Xiong wanted to find a secular lord for his holy land, he recommended Knight Parn - or it can be said that this was his gift to his benefactor.

But Lei's idea was different from his. Lei, who was born in a noble family, paid great attention to etiquette. How could he come to the door empty-handed on his first visit! So when he passed by a prosperous town, he prepared a set of gifts - that set of porcelain.

The craftsmanship level in this world is not high, and the price of porcelain is quite expensive, especially the exquisite porcelain, which can only be afforded by the great nobles. The declining nobles such as Knight Parn can only afford exquisite pottery. Using exquisite porcelain as a gift is not only face-saving and status-enhancing, but also helpful to Knight Parn. Imagine that when Knight Parn has guests in the future, he will entertain them with exquisite porcelain, how face-saving it will be!

But Lei never thought that Knight Parn had passed away, so he temporarily added a bag of gems on the basis of the set of porcelain.

Knight Parn's family looked quite distressed, especially Liv's words just now, "The agreed repayment time has not yet arrived", which almost made him guess the reason - it's nothing more than lack of money.

As for money, thanks to the monsters that came to his door, his pockets are very bulging during this period!

This bag of gems is actually a sum of money he specially prepared. About half of them are low-grade gems such as aventurine, chalcedony, and crystal, which are priced at about 50 gold coins each, and the other half are cheap gems such as white pearls, agates, and turquoise, which are priced at about 10 gold coins. There are also a few gems such as amber, coral, and spinel that are worth about 100 gold coins, and there are no higher-grade ones. The total value is about 1,500 gold coins.

This is of course for the convenience of cash exchange. After all, gems such as bejuli gems, diamonds, and king's tears that are worth thousands of gold coins each cannot find suitable buyers in smaller towns. When they are in urgent need of money, they can only be sold at a low price. In contrast, these low- and medium-grade gems are much more convenient.

So Lei prepared several bags of such gems, all for the purpose of quickly exchanging them for cash when needed.

In fact, for him who has a large space bag, it is not inconvenient to carry tens of thousands of gold coins with him, but it is not in line with his habits.

Such a bag of gems is also more in line with etiquette. Sending a set of porcelain from afar is high-end and classy enough. If it is paired with some high-end gems, it would be too grand and inappropriate.

The two gifts carefully selected by Lei were welcomed by Knight Parn's family. Little Niss happily took out sparkling gems from the gem bag, looked at this and that, and smiled with a red face; while the eyes of Tig and Liv were completely attracted by the exquisite porcelain.

"This gift... is too expensive!" Mrs. Tig seemed a little overwhelmed.

She knew the value of this set of porcelain very well. Compared with those gems that are colorful but not too valuable, this set of porcelain is a real treasure. Even if it is placed in the reception room of the dukes, it will never be disrespectful. Putting it in their knight's home who is in trouble, it is a bit like a pearl covered in dust.

Liv, who had been worried about money for a long time, was stunned and couldn't help muttering to herself: "How much is this worth!"

She had stopped at high-end stores selling various gems and crafts more than once to appreciate those exquisite goods, so she was quite familiar with these things. Especially the lack of money during this period made her more sensitive to prices. For example, she easily estimated the price of the bag of gems.

But... she couldn't estimate the price of this set of porcelain.

They are obviously high-end goods, not just high-end, but very high-end! There are no goods of this level on the shelves of that store. Perhaps only the inner room that is not open to the public will sell goods of this level.

So, how much is it worth?

Two thousand? Five thousand? Or more?

For Liv, who has been tortured by money for a long time and often feels that she has reached the point where her eyes light up when she sees gold, this set of expensive porcelain is so dazzling that she even feels like she is burned by looking directly at the sun.

It was not until her mother reminded her that she realized that tears were flowing down.

Lei and Steele did not speak, but just sat there with a smile, waiting for them to calm down.

After a while, the mother and daughter finally calmed down. Mrs. Teague accepted the gift and asked Liv to carefully keep the porcelain set and not to break it. As for the gems, they should have been carefully kept, but because of the contrast with the porcelain set, they seemed to be eclipsed, so she didn't even pay attention to them.

Although I felt a little uneasy, one of the most important rules of aristocratic etiquette is that I cannot refuse gifts. Especially since these gifts were given by the Satan Master, symbolizing gratitude for saving my life, I could not refuse them. If I refused them, it would mean that I did not take the life-saving grace seriously, and the subtext was "your life is worthless".

That would be too rude!

"I am very sorry that you have seen such a rude scene." Mrs. Teague did not hide the current plight of her family, and said with a wry smile, "Thank you very much for your gift. If you are not in a hurry, can you stay at my house and have dinner with us?"

This is of course the proper etiquette. Lei and Steele are very familiar with this etiquette, so they will not refuse it.

However, when Sui Xiong smelled the smell coming from the kitchen from afar, he could not help but frown.

"Steel, go and help me." He said quietly.

Since Steele joined the team, his mouth has been spoiled by this woman with superb cooking skills. At this moment, when he smelled the bad smell in the kitchen, he felt a little distressed, worried about whether he would encounter the legendary dark cuisine.

Sui Xiong didn't understand the etiquette of the nobility. For him, the world was not as big as his stomach. He abused himself for the sake of face, eating things that even dogs disdained while forcing a smile to praise, that was when he was chasing his girlfriend on Earth.

Unfortunately, he failed in the end. It was not because of the diet, but because the girl hated men who played games.

It would be fine to abuse his taste buds and stomach, but even the hobby of playing games could not be tolerated. Such a young lady should be her princess. Brother Xiong can't serve!

When Steele said that she wanted to help in the kitchen, Mrs. Tig was surprised-this was really not in accordance with etiquette. But she soon realized the reason and nodded with a wry smile.

She was sitting in the living room now, so who would be busy in the kitchen?

As a mother, Liv's cooking level was clear to her!

So she really couldn't refuse Steele's request, after all, she couldn't let the guests eat Liv's food.

It is really unacceptable to use dark dishes to knock down the guests who came from afar!

When Steele came to the kitchen, Liv, whose face was full of smoke and fire, struggled with pots and pans, but made the food more and more hideous and weird, smiled awkwardly.

She knew that she had done more harm than good this time.

"Wash your face and hands, I'll be done soon." Steele did not laugh at her, but just smiled warmly like the spring breeze and got busy.

Her cooking skills are superb, and even her cooking movements are full of rhythm. With her enchanting figure, it is enough to make men look beastly - this is what she has practiced specifically, and everyone knows the reason.

Liv helped on the side, looking envious, and subconsciously imitating Steele's movements. But when she realized the difference in their figures, envy turned into frustration.

As a girl with a quarter of the moon elf bloodline, Liv can also be said to be quite beautiful. However, the Moon Elves are not known for their sexiness, and most of the members are princesses. This is not obvious in Mrs. Tig, but Liv doesn't know if it's because of her ancestral roots, her figure clearly reflects the style of the Moon Elves.

Although she is taller than Steele, when it comes to female charm... Alas! Such a sad topic, it's better not to talk about it!

She looked at Steele's hot figure, and then looked at her own figure, which was clearly that of a young knight as long as she changed her clothes and put on a helmet. She couldn't help but feel sad and returned to the living room dejectedly.

Seeing her eldest daughter coming back from the kitchen, Mrs. Tig frowned and was a little dissatisfied with her rudeness. But seeing her daughter's frustrated look, she quickly guessed the reason and couldn't help shaking her head.

The elves never care about boring issues like "figure", but for mixed-race children living in human society, this problem is a headache.

This daughter of hers seemed to have inherited her father's talent. She was quite good at swordsmanship, horse riding and shooting, and had good performance in culture. However, she knew almost nothing about the talents that women should have.

... Perhaps, it would not be a bad thing to be stimulated this time.

She told Liv to have a good chat with the guests and to keep an eye on Niss so that she would not make trouble, and then she went to the kitchen.

Maybe Miss Steele could do everything by herself, but it was not a good way to treat guests to keep busy.

"Miss Liv, I just noticed something. May I ask you something?" Lei asked when Mrs. Tigg went to the kitchen.

Liv certainly would not mind his "presumptuous question", but when she heard the specific content of the question, her face sank.

Lei asked about the origin of the crossbow arrow on the corner of the wall outside the door.
